The holocaust was a gruesome, and horrible time. People were harmed and endured horrible treatment, only because of hate. Nobody had done anything wrong, but because Hitler had money and power, he was able to hate on a global scale. But many heroes, who believed they were like everybody else, were a big part of how many people survived. The survival stories of the holocaust are amazing.Now you can see how these two people *out of the estimated 3,546,211* survived.
Eva Galler and her two siblings( ages.15,16)were told to jump out of the train car. The train was heading to the death camp and her father told her , her brother and sister , that as the oldest they should jump and see if one of them lives. Eva jumped last as the "SS people" sat on top of the rail cars firing there guns. They shot at her and her siblings many times, but no bullets hit her. When she no longer herd the train she got up, only to find her brother and sister dead, the only one she found alive was her friend ( no name) who currently lives in New York.
She said "And the first thing I did, I took off my star, and I promised myself never again will I ever wear a star.'
Her story is truly phenomenal!

Jeanine Burk When she was a little girl her family took her to the house of a woman. She still does not know her name. She was not allowed outside, because if she was found out by the nazis, she and the family who was helping her would be killed. She feels that she lost a big part of her childhood just because she and her family were Jewish. http://holocaustsurvivors.org/data.show.php?di=home&da=survivors&ke=5
"1. Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps in 1945." "2. In Israel, the Knesset made Holocaust Remembrance Day (also known as Yom Hashoah) a national holiday in 1959." "3. Yom Hashoah has been observed with speakers, poems prayers, songs, candlelight ceremonies and more tokens of remembrance." "4. The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. It ended in 1945 when Allied powers defeated the Nazis." "5. Jewish people were excluded from public life on September 15th, 1935 when the Nuremberg Laws were issued. These laws also stripped German Jews of their citizenship and their right to marry Germans." "6. Once World War II began, the Nazis ordered all Jews to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing so they could be easily targeted." "7. Jews were forced to live in specific areas of the city called ghettos after the beginning of World War ll. In the larger ghettos, up to 1,000 people a day were picked up and brought by train to concentration camps or death camps." "8. Kristallnacht occurred on November 9th and 10th, 1938. Nazis pillaged, burned synagogues, broke windows of Jewish-owned businesses, and attacked Jewish people in Austria and Germany. 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps." "9. In prison camps, prisoners were forced to do hard physical labor. Torture and death within concentration camps were common and frequent." "10. 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust (1.1 million children). 6 million of those victims were Jewish. Other groups targeted by the Nazis were Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, disabled people, and Gypsies."
During the holocaust Norwegians wore paperclips as a form of resistance.
Did Hitler always want to be a tyrant?
No, he wanted to be an artist, but was rejected by art school.
Who was Hitler's family?
His wife, he had no children.
My personal feelings about the holocaust: The holocaust could have been stopped, if Europe did not have such a fragile government, and Hitler didn't have such fragile feelings. Hitler shouldn't have been allowed the power he was, but we can not fix mistakes of the past; we can only prevent them in the future. The holocaust was horrible and tragic time, full of racist and prejudice people who just happened to be in power. It proved that sometimes it appears evil will win, but that is never true.

These are Nazis questioning a man.
these are people in line for Hitlers "free" food
HitlerNot so fun fact: Hitler wanted to be an artist as a boy and young adult, andsome people believe is brother was Jewish.
Josef Mengele
Josef Mengele was a horrible Nazi, he was a doctor who worked at the concentration camps, he did inhuman projects on the prisoners ( mostly twins)
He did horrible things like soeing bodies together and puting other peoples head on others bodies. He exsperaments were not scientific at all, and of course hitler did not care and almost like Josef Mengele.
